Was impressed with 1.30pm bulletin, not a single mistake.
Also, the titles are yellow/red and quite bright/cheerful compared to the newsroom southeast ones (I think red on blue never really worked for Newsroom SouthEast, always look very blurry).
At the start of the bulletin we get a wide angle shot of the newsroom - though for some reason so far those plasma screens never seem to show anything except the South East Today logo, which looks very nice, but I rather assumed the idea was to show all the different feeds coming in.
Sat-truck was in Dover reporting on the refugees and they also had a live interview from one of the central London studios.
Weather forecast was good too, nice to be able to see where you live on it!
Laurie Meyer promised us we'd be introduced to the entire team and take a look at the 'latest computer-technology' that they are using during the 6.30 bulletin.
They are running a competition for someone to go and officially open the studio, but for some reason that won't be until September 29th. Why is it so late? I thought Greg Dyke had already opened the Tunbridge Wells centre??
Anyway, all in all, very nice to have our new region up and running - 6.30 bulletin should be interesting. I also look forward to the BBC regions being available on DSAT, so I can get some decent reception and watch in widescreen.
Every region should use those new SET astons, they are the snazziest yet!
BTW, could someone get pictures of NSE local weather, it will give us an idea of weather NSE is still covering the entire SE for weather or not (if they are then they are stupid).

The weather stays on the whole South East at first, like before, then they zoom in, and have different places on the map. Barnet, Luton, Harlow & Crawley are some.
I wasn't recording it, but hopefully Robert W will test out his new TV card for us

I'll have a go! Depends how long it takes for me to figure it all out of course!
Oh yes, and I've got digital terrestrial, so it'll be in lovely 16:9.
